There are actually 6: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Phosphates, and Deoxyribose Sugar Molecules. 1 Phosphate and Deoxyribose Sugar Molecule create a nucleotide, and Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine are nitrogenous bases. DNA is shaped like a double-helix (a ladder). The two sides of the ladder are the nucleotides and the rungs are nitrogenous bases. The order of nitrogenous bases determines the organisms life characteristics (eye color, skin color, hair color, etc.)

Name the 3-part structure that makes up both DNA and RNA?

The 3-part structure that makes up DNA and RNA is composed of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA). These components form the backbone of the nucleic acid molecules.
